Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Stroberi at none against BudgetVault's 2. Stroberi also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). BudgetVault's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
